Sonshine is excited to be participating in The Calgary Marathon’s Scotiabank Group Charity Challenge. As on official charity of The Scotiabank Group Charity Challenge, Sonshine is recruiting individuals and families to join our Executive Director Joy Johnson-Green in running and raising funds for Sonshine.

The first 10 people to register for Sonshine’s team and commit to raising at least $100 will have their race registration fee waved! Sonshine will receive every penny you raise, as all administrative costs are being covered by Scotiabank!

The Scotiabank Calgary Marathon was voted the 2009 Best Road Race in Alberta. There is a race designed for everyone of any level, including a full marathon, half-marathon, 10 km, 5 km family walk or run and a kids’ marathon.
